The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, signed on Monday a pioneer law in the United States that demands that the largest artificial intelligence companies (AI) disseminate their security protocols, which puts the state in the head on the greatest accountability of the industry.
The Law of Transparency in Border Artificial Intelligence (TFAIA) was designed based on the recommendations of the first National California report published earlier this year, presented by experts in this area, after the growing concerns about the risks of AI.
“California has shown that we can establish regulations to protect our communities and, at the same time, to ensure that the growing AI industry continues to thrive. This legislation achieves that balance,” said Newsom in a statement.
The Democrat stressed that California, as a fourth economy in the world, continues as a leader to promote national and global legislation in artificial intelligence security, which generates public “trust” as this emerging technology quickly evolves.
The approved law was the second regulatory project presented by Senator Scott Wiener, which last year tried to approve a broader measure that triggered a debate with large companies such as Meta and OpenAi, creator of Chatgpt.

The legislator stressed today that his victory will put the State as a world leader in the security commitment, and stressed that the United States Senate recently voted 99-1 to eliminate the provisions of the Financing Law of President Donald Trump, approved last July, which would have prevented states from promulgating AI regulations.
California’s law also requires the great technological ones to report the most critical security incidents and protect the complainants.
It also promotes an industrial policy for AI through the creation of “Deccompute”, a public cloud computing cluster that provides AI infrastructure for startups and researchers.
